I think if The Prom succeeds, then there is a good chance that more films like this will be greenlit.
So I hope more movies like Prom and Love, Simon become the norm, so members of the LGBTQ+ community can feel more seen and appreciated.
The date of The Prom Netflix release is still unknown, and finishing production has just resumed, so if it does come out this year, I expect it in late fall or early winter.
For those that are not a minority or underrepresented group, it may seem ridiculous or silly to get excited about things like this, but representation matters.
